Love the Minnesota State Fair. Hotdish on a stick, yummmm!

[QUOTE=tophcfa;2132269]September is upon us and it’s getting cold up here in the Berkshires. Just closed up the windows and put on a sweatshirt for the first time in a very long while. Temperature is dropping fast and is forecasted to hit 45 degrees later tonight. Time to pull the fishing boat from the lake, take the window A/C unit out for the season, and start the Villages packing pile.
Friend sent my this from NY.

I just love the colors in the fall!

It has begun saw one on Buena Vista earlier today and they had no idea how round a bouts work

Doesn’t beat the 3 late yesterday driving from SS with Florida plates….banking they have lived here for years, and either never understood, or forgot how a roundabout works:girlneener:

Would bet on forgetaboutit

I know a lot of folks snowbird but, many of us permanent folks hate when this time comes.
Sorry. TV has grown so much since we came (just 5 years ago). Roads are horrible and overcrowded with way too many folks that don't know what they are doing.
Bet people said that about us too when we first came. Now we get it.

We did. But now you are one of us. 😉

I now see how that can work

Beats the alternative. :laugh:

So far we have noticed very little uptick in traffic. We visited north during the summer, returning end of August instead of first of October to catch the fall color before track down

They are a coming but mostly end of Oct early Nov I believe

At 0745 this morning I had to wait for approximately twenty cars to pass by in order for me to cross Morse Blvd. on my bicycle, north of 466. I travel this route nearly every day, crossing at the same spot. This is a major increase from just a week ago, and I believe it is due to an early start of snowbird season. Plus, it's pretty clear that the number of walkers on the local multimode trails has increase significantly too.

Exactly how long do you have to live in TV before you can start complaining about the newbies and snowbirds?

Don’t know the answer to your question, but the seasoned snowbirds are known to complain about newbies just like the FROGS do. And if one is a newbie snowbird, watch out!

If you like we can have a snowbird meeting asking everyone to be full time, then no more complaints. Roads, shopping, golf, overcrowding, will be like High Season Year Round. Wouldn’t that be fun:22yikes:

Snowbird complaints start the day a full timer has to wait more than 2 minutes in grocery line:clap2::1rotfl::MOJE_whot:

Then maybe you would get Costco, Trader Joe's and all the upscale restaurants that don't come here due to less business in the summer?😃

Might be getting cold up there, but rain here is getting ridiculous. Have never seen a wetter summer and I have lived in Florida over 65 year.

I think we were in a deficit until the last several weeks. My rain gage is the par 3 hole by the Pinellas Pool. The water in the pond is about 6-8 inches from reaching the green right now. A month ago it was over 2 feet lower.

I guess so low last night 45° Narragansett Ri 67° for lunch in Galilee Ri expecting a hi of 74°. Well tough it out till mid October

Then this forum would double with complaints between the frogs and the frogs. :shocked:

A lot of croaking!

Until they croak

#ThoughtsAndPrayers

Are the 1 claw lobsters still 6.00 off the boat?

Hold off on that trip down, the love bugs are bothering us right now. Someone will be in touch when it's safe.

I was just telling DW, "it's time for the snowbird migration to The Villages!"....we are making our packing lists now. I'll be the one in the blue Club Car, with the left blinker on, while I turn right. Howdy Neighbor!!

Great! I'll be the jerk that gives you the finger when you make that crazy turn. Welcome back. It will be just like old times. 😃😃😃

How to know it is fall in Florida....

Yup.

Good one!

What can I say... I'm a trend setter... :D

It is my fault. I forgot to shut the door behind me when I got in many years ago!😁

Yes, they are here. Saw a very pale guy wearing a very nice red le Club de hockey Canadien sweater at Brownwood. Still can't get over what happened in 1971.

Me: I wonder if this cart has a beeper that beeps when the turn signal is on.

Wife: It does.

Me: I wonder what it sounds like.

😅 That is funny!!
